Hi Robin, The jewelry is almost as annoying as the clothes! Try making some clasps from wire. I use a 24 gauge wire. Form a hook with your needle nose pliers, and then put a loop after that. Make jump rings by wrapping the wire multiple times around the end of your needle nose pliers and then slip off and cut the rings apart. If you need pics, let me know, and I can probably draw some. What you come out with is a clasp VERY similar to the ones on vintage Barbs jewelry.

Hey guys,
I'm just plain aggravated with this problem... lol... So, while I'm
griping - how about jewelry that is sewn on! I mean, I buy the darn doll just to get the outfit, the jewelry being an important part of the outfit's appeal, and it can't be removed! I've rethreaded some of the necklaces, but haven't yet had luck finding clasps that are small enough, so the results are less than perfect. Sigh...
